Northern Hardwood Tables Grant Bench

The solid top version is a single, fixed piece of wood, while the expandable version includes hardware and internal support to accommodate up to four leaves. If you frequently host large groups, the expandable option provides the flexibility to increase seating capacity as needed.

The leaves are not stored within the bench itself. We offer an optional separate leaf storage box specifically designed to keep your leaves organized and protected when they are not in use.

Hardwoods like Oak, Hickory, and Hard Maple are excellent choices for durability and resistance to dents. If you prefer a more rustic aesthetic, Rustic Cherry or Rustic Quartersawn White Oak offer beautiful character while maintaining the structural integrity required for daily use.

The standard Mission edge is a clean, squared-off profile that provides a modern, minimalist look. While it is a sharp aesthetic choice, it is sanded smooth to ensure it is comfortable for seating.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a bench that is roughly the same length as your table or slightly shorter so it can be tucked neatly underneath when not in use. For example, a 60-inch bench pairs well with a 60-inch to 72-inch table.

Yes, because each bench is handcrafted from natural solid wood, you will see unique grain patterns and color variations. These natural characteristics are part of the beauty of authentic Amish-made furniture and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
